The AEWTNA situation just got another major updateand this time, its coming from Kenny Omega, who isnt hiding his frustration over how things played out. After Tony Khan revealed he was caught off guard by TNA pulling talent from indie shows, Kenny Omega weighed in during an interview with The Takedown on April 10, 2026and made it clear he sees this as a bigger issue about how promotions view each other. Omega started by addressing what he believes is the root of the problem, pointing to a mindset that prevents collaboration across companies. He expanded on that point, saying the focus on negatives instead of opportunities is what ultimately holds the industry back. Omega then made it clear that he believes cooperation between promotions could benefit everyone involvednot just one side. At the same time, he acknowledged why situations like this arent as simple as they sound, especially with the financial stakes involved in modern wrestling. He pointed out that once cross-promotional matches enter the picture, it creates complications that go beyond just booking a match. The Best Bout Machine clarified that the issue isnt just about match outcomes, but about perception and positioning between companies. Omegas comments come right after multiple indie matchesincluding MJF vs. Nic Nemeth and Ricochet vs. Leon Slaterwere scrapped due to TNA pulling talent amid its partnership considerations. With Khan already stating AEW believed there was an understanding in place, Omegas remarks now push the conversation beyond miscommunication and into a broader critique of how wrestling companies operate. This isnt just about a couple of canceled matches anymoreits about whether promotions are willing to work together at all, or if the walls between them are only getting higher. If more stars start echoing Omegas stance, this situation could turn into a much bigger debate about the future of cross-promotional wrestling.
